On our quest to have a vacation like experience without hopping into a plane, we decided to have a “staycation” at Old Town Alexandria. One of the things that surprises me about Old Town is how you can be in a completely different world from DC just a twenty minute car ride away. You enter to a land with colonial homes with colorful shutters, many with an American flag hanging from the front porch, and cobble stoned streets. King Street, the main street of Old Town maintains a old fashioned fa\u00e7ade with many specialty shops, caf\u00e9s, and restaurants. Here’s a snapshot of what we did, ate, and saw during our short escapade from the city. <\/span><\/center><\/p>\n
